Human Resources Department

Human and Labor Relations Assistance

The Human Relations Department is your everyday resource for human relations guidance either to suggest appropriate actions or to confirm or suggest change to human relation actions your company is going to take. The areas of expertise include general human relations issues, assistance on collective bargaining with a union, and regulatory requirements that effect a company’s human and labor relation decisions or actions.

Human Relations Tools

The Human Relations Department can help you with tools to meet your everyday human resource needs. For example, you can find in the publication section below, a sample employee handbook template; answers to questions regarding Pregnancy Leaves, State Disability Insurance, or other regulations; sample letters to an employee on leave or disciplinary action form; calculating overtime pay properly; or lawful procedures for hiring a new employee, disciplining or terminating an employee, or performing a sexual harassment investigation.

Employment Market Compensation Data

Companies must stay competitive in the labor market. The Human Resources Department provides surveys for company management of wages, salaries or outside salesperson compensation practices; or benefits and working conditions in Southern California. We also have industry surveys to help determine compensation in markets outside of Southern California and positions not normally associated with the printing industry.

Training Opportunities

Today it is important to be proactive. The Human Resources Department offers Lead, Supervisor, and Management Training classes at PIASC and at the company’s work site. It provides programs to bring people together; to more fully understand others, to communicate effectively; and to build effective work teams.

On-Site Consultation

Have specific needs such as creation of a wage program, meeting with the management team to discuss their human relation questions, address human relations issues in the workplace, or to assist in collective bargaining. The Human Resources Department will consult with you at your work location on these and other matters.

Up To Date Alerts

The Human Relations Department contributes to the PIASC Weekly Update articles alerting members to the many new or changing labor regulations.
